[NTLUG:Discuss] Fear and Loathing in Redmond...

[micky john]

That sucks, do you think that is really going to be a problem?  As you can 
see, I use hotmail because it's conveniant and messenger tells me when i 
have mail.  is there a comparable service in windows that isn't microsoft, 
or am I stuck because it's the only one available that offers such a 
service?
